Again, I can't see why anyone would pay more than what the Harlan costs. It's a great light, very easy to install, and very easy to program. Go to Installuniversity to see how to install it in the A/C vent. Some people also put it where the defroster vent is in the front left A pillar. By the way, I got mine in a couple of weeks, well worth the wait!

Well I took my brother for a ride in it today and I hit the rev limeter when the tac was reading 6500. I know that the stock tacks are off so it`s time for a shift light. What brand and model number shift lights are you guys using. I`m not going to get a tac so I need to know some shift lights that will work with out the tac. Also how hard are they to install?
Thanks for any help,

Go with the Harlan I ordered mine and had it the following week. I opted for the blue LED's and it's not hard on the eyes, but it's also not pointing directly at me either. Install in the center vent as well.

Has anyone with a T/A put it in the AC vent? The Camaro guys just have to slip off the cover; we don't have one. My Harlan is in the A-pillar, red, and on really bright days it's hard to see. At night of course it lights up the entire car. I did get it in one week 2 years ago.
